Getting started

Creating a new page for a company/organization

Basic rules

• Follow conventions. There is Template for a page.

Wiki syntax

• Wiki syntax (except for several advanced functions) apply to Media Wiki. For example,

Wikipedia Cheatsheet
Wikipedia How to Edit

Pages to create

(A)Required: Romanized title [category:Shashi(R)] (e.g., Ohaio Shuritsu Daigaku)

(B)Advised: Japanese title [category:Shashi(J)] (e.g., オハイオ州立大学)

(C)If available: English title [category:shashi(E)] (e.g., The Ohio State University)

• (B) and (C) are connected with (A) by writing

#redirect=Ohaio Shuritsu Daigaku

Categories

• To make a category, type like the example:

[[category:OSU]]                (Library)
[[category:Manufacturing]]      (Nikkei Goo Classification)
[[category:A-2：農業的サービス業]]  (Nagao Bunko Classification)
[[category:shashi(R)]]          (*page type)
*Currently only shashi(R) and Shashi(E) are attached with categories.

Search engine

• Wiki Media does not search for the word with fewer than four letters. If you have specific concerns about the page for searching, it is advised to avoid two/three-letter words (e.g., OSU).

Other

• Currently there is no fixed rule of transliterating 日本. It is either Nihon or Nippon. Simply follow Worldcat or follow it if you find either way used by the company/organization. But for the easy of searching, it is advised to create both pages (i.e., Roman alphabet) and connect one with the other.

Creating a new page for other projects

• There are pages not limited to specific companies. See examples: Auto Industry Timeline, Establishing Overseas Operations
